I didn't know what to say or react after hearing Alex's confession. I wasn't sure if I should feel happy, sad, or angry. All these feelings were mixing inside me. Hearing my mate say such sweet things to me, my heart lept with joy. I have never heard Lucas say those words to me, if anything, the only words that left his mouth were hurtful. They felt like a stab in my heart." I hate you Belinda, I hate you with passion." Those were Lucas' exact words as he glared at me. I can still feel the hatred in his words like it happened yesterday.But with Alex, his words were sweet and made my heart beat faster. "You mean the world to me." I was feeling all giddy and wanted to jump up and down, but at the same time, I felt angry and confused.I don't want to feel this way because I know what will happen if I allow my heart to fall for Alex's sweet words." Say something Linda. Please, say something." Alex's words pulled me from my thoughts. He looked anxious as he stared into my eyes." Why ar
I walked straight to Alex's office, knocking slightly before pushing the door open.The scene that greeted my eyes however made my heart drop and blood freeze.On the sofa sat Alex and in his arms was a lady who seemed to kissing him. My heart clenched painfully and I fought the tears gathering in my eyes.At the end of the day, all men are the same. A minute ago, he was all about how he loved me and wanted to spend his life with me and the next moment, he was holding a woman in his arms doing goddess knows what.Alex kept his eyes at me, not looking away. I watched to see even a hint of guilt in his eyes but there was nothing, not even a speck of it. His face remained straight all the time I stood at the door, staring at them like a fool. I felt like I was the Most stupid person to ever exist.I regretted even listening to Valeria's stupid words. What was I thinking? That could find happiness in a man who is known as the biggest womaniser in the whole country.How idiotic could I act
" To see you ofcourse." She replied, stepping past me and heading Inside my room.My blood boiled and I felt like dragging her out and kicking her away but I restrained myself. If I did that, won't she see me unworthy of being Alex's mate?" Why do you even care? I thought you didn't give a fuck?" My wolf, Melody, snickered making me even more angry." Shut up!" I hissed at her and I could picture her rolling her eyes at me in my mind. That's typical Melody style.The lady e walked towards my bed before comfortably easing her butt. I gritted my teeth in anger, my hatred and resentment about her doubling." The bed feels comfortable." She commented and I fought the urge to roll my eyes at her." State your business here and get out. I am tired, I don't have time to entertain strangers." I spat, glaring at her but the lady smiled at me. Her smile was beauti, as much as I hated to admit it, it was the truth." Tired of crying?" She interrogated, wriggling her brows at me. I glared at her,
After tossing and turning in bed for the better hours of the night pondering whether to go see Alex or not, I finally managed to fall asleep at almost dawn. My sleep was short lived, however.A few hours later, my cellphone started vibrating on the table beside my bed, jolting me awake.I sat up and stared at the screen with one eye open, the backlight hurting my eyes in the pitch black bedroom." Good morning Luna? Did you have a wonderful night? Oh, don't tell me, I know you did. " Fiona's excited voice blasted through the earpieces making me grit my teeth in anger.Good morning my ass! Looking at the time on my phone, it was hardly six in the morning. I cursed inwardly, wishing I could get to that woman and straggle her to death. How dare she call me and interrupt my sleep after all I went through to sneak a peek at Dreamland?And what did she call me? Luna? How many times would I spell it to them, I am nobody's Luna and probably wouldn't be in the future? But it seems everybody in
" Whatever feud there is between the Lycans and the vampires has nothing to do with me. I won't have myself in the middle of their fight." I said and the look that Fiona gave me wasn't something I appreciated." What's the matter with you? Do you have a problem with us or my brother and you don't want to say it? " She asked, her question confusing me." What do you mean? " I asked, cocking my brows at her. " Let me make it more simple. Do you hate us? " She repeated, making me frown.Her question threw me off the hook. Hate the Lycans? Why would I hate them? I don't have a reason to do that." I don't hate you, I have never interacted with you. It's just that some things ain't as simple as they seem." I reasoned." Staying here will do none of us any good. I will put his life in danger and I don't want to watch others dying because of me. " I explained.As much as I want to believe that the gruesome scenes in my nightmares aren't anything, something deep down tells me that it happene
Alex stared at me in disbelief , perhaps not expecting me to say those words. Well, I didn't expect to say that either and Since the words were already out, there was no turning back." Are you sure about this Linda? Do you Know what this means?" He asked and I nodded. I didn't know what it meant, what I knew at that moment was that I needed to feel his lips on mine.He smiled, and his arms snaked around my waist as he pulled me into a deep kiss. I melted into his embrace, and his strong arms held me firm.The kiss was deep, passionate and sensual.His hands trailed over the soft fabric of the dress I was wearing and found the zipper. He unzipped the dress slowly, and it fell away, revealing my red lace lingerie I changed into after arriving home from the market.He sucked in a deep breath, and I felt a rush of pleasure run through me as I stood there, clad in only the red bra and panties." You look like a vision Linda" Alex whispered as he stepped close and traced his fingers over m
I nodded in agreement." Have you told Alex about this?" Valeria asked and I shook my head." I can't tell him. " I replied, a sad look on my face. How can I tell him that the person he fought so hard to find would be the reason he Will lose his life and kingdom?" But if you tell him then he'll be able to find a way around it." She said," That's why I'm not going to tell him. I don't want to involve him in my problems. I have to figure out why I started having those nightmares. Also, when I was leaving my home, my mother said something that has been bothering me. I don't Know what she knows or how much She knows but I am pretty sure she knows something. " I spoke." Your mother?" Valeria asked. " You think she might be hiding something from you? "" It's a possibility. Maybe it's time to pay her a visit. "Valeria nodded, a serious look on her face." This is serious Linda. The vampires have been making a move on us recently." Valeria informed me and I furrowed my brows at her." Do
The following morning, I slowly opened my eyes only to close them immediately when the morning sunlight assaulted them.I groaned, cursing softly as my head thumped loudly. The pounding felt like it would knock my head off the neck.It was a hangover.The headache and the nausea were bad, but they were not the worst part of a hangover. What made them the worst was that the moment I had woken up, I knew they would plague me the whole day.I tried to raise my hands to massage my temples but found my body was heavy, as though my limbs were being pulled by a great force."You are awake." A voice sounded from beside me and I turned around. Alex was sleeping beside me. He wore no expression on his face.The events of last night rushed into my mind and I looked away, embarrassed."I am. I don't feel too good.""That is not a surprise. You were wasted," he said and paused. "Do you remember anything?"I hesitated. I knew what he was asking. "Yes," I finally replied.He nodded and got up. "I wi
Crawling to her, I shifted back to my human form. Clutching her into my arms, I watched as she took her last breath. Turning to look at Alex, he was slowly drawing closer to the claws of death. Letting out a loud growl, something snapped inside me and I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline rushing through me as something crawled under my skin. It was sweet, dark, eerie and sadistic.A sense of dread overtook me as a new power surged in my veins, burning and searing my flesh as it rushed to the surface. A shining beam of light surrounded me as I felt a strange coldness settling deep in the marrows of my bones then I exploded, letting everything go. The ground underneath me started to quake, the air inside the four walls turned thick, my skin felt as if it was on fire, but instead of burning me it felt like it was peeling off.Groans and grunts filled the room, a sudden tsunami surrounding me, lifting me up and driving in circles. Beams of pure light hit the enemy, a single blow sendin
The more Lucian ranted the more I pitied him. Pathetic right? But as a child, he didn't deserve to be treated that way. Just like he said, I was raised in wealth but what more was I offered. Just like him, I was a caged bird, caged by the walls and rules of the kingdom yet what I went through as a child didn't influence what I am now. " That's no excuse to harm innocent people. " I started calmly.I could feel my body burning, no, scorching would be the perfect explanation. The heat was so much that I just wanted to claw at my skin. " Innocent people? " Lucian sneered. " How innocent could they be? Thanks to those so-called innocent people, I was branded dangerous, a traitor. And that stupid fortune teller, claiming that I would bring downfall to the whole land. Her useless words added to that pathetic man's hatred towards me and I was kicked away in the middle of the night, just like the dirty secret I was in his hands. Now, I just want to fulfil her words, bring the world under
Linda's povThe fight between Rosabella and I was getting intense. She was like a cornered beast, fighting it's way for freedom.Her attacks were ferocious and unforgiving, not giving me time to breath as she unleashed her full force upon me. One thing I realised, her magic wss weak, meaning her witch side Wasn't that strong. She was relying on her vampire and lycan powers to fight."I don't want to do this Rosabella" I told her as I tried to disarm her without hurting her. "You should have thought about that before you betrayed your people and join that man to cause ruckus. Rosabella sneered. " And you think you are Qualified to tell me what and what not to do? " I shook my head. At this point, she could already tell that she was clearly not strong enough to rival me yet she was insisting on fighting to the death? " Even if you don't care about yourself, at least think about your son. He is young and needs you. He needs a mother to care and love him. " I said in an attempt to c
Alex povWe set off after Linda's mother and I had a little chat.While I was away, I instructed Fiona to take charge of the kingdom and if something happens to me, she would take over as the Next lycan king.As for Linda, she would chose whether to stick around or leave the kingdom and continue with her life.I know she loves her profesion so I did the only thing I thought was good for her, setting her free.With me gone, i don't think she will be comfortable living with the lycans. Not like my people won't accept her, it's just that staying back would only give her pain." We still need you, she needs you. " Leo mindlinked me as we approached the prison where the battle would be held.I smiled, albeit bitterlyI didn't want this for myself, for my kingdom and most especially for my mate but some things are inevitable.This battle will only end with my death.I nodded at him.Leo looked away. I could see the pain in his eyes yet he remained strong." Change of plans. Your mate will t
Linda's povMorning came and as promised, Aurora sneaked into my prison cell. " Ready? " She asked and I nodded. Muttering a few words, I was freed from the chains making my eyes widen in surprise. " How did you do that? " I asked and she smiled. "The cuffs are something my family created so I can control them, " She replied, shrugging her shoulders. She then casted a spell on herself, looking exactly like me. Looking at her, I could hardly tell the difference, even her scent matched mine. " Go now! You can't waste more time. " She urged me. Nodding, I turned around and left. I found myself Following the path like I knew the place and ended up Aurora's room. Sitting on her bed, I prayed to the goddess to let her see the end of the day. My skin felt dirty from all the days I had stayed without a bath. Stripping, I headed to the bathroom.I washed away the dirt and the grime that had collected itself on my skin.After I finished, I stepped out of the bathroom feeling refresh
Linda's POVShe was right.Whether Alex stayed back at the kingdom or came to this damn forsaken place, a confrontation between them was inevitable. From what I saw about that man, his hatred for Alex ran deep and there's nothing that could stop him from taking his revenge on Alex.It's funny or should I say it's twisted how that man thinks?After being discarded by his father, he blames Alex for his misfortunes?I nodded." Do you have a plan?" I asked, taking x deep breath and embracing the fact that it was time for war.Macbeth grinned, " Now that's More like it."I smiled, amazed at how even her expressions and vigor matched Valeria's." Lucian plans to attack the castle but we will do it Instead. Tomorrow before noon, seduce him, make him let his guard down. We will invade this place, eliminate all the rogues and goddess knows what fate will be served to that bastard because I won't let him breathe past tomorrow." Macbeth said, her words filled with determination." Alright, then
Macbeth povComing here was something that I would probably get a Scolding from my father but at this point, I didn't care. I needed to do this for my sister.For so many years, I had tried to convince my father to bring her back to the deep sea where her family is but he never agreed." She is a witch, Macbeth. She can't survive here. " That would always be his reply.He was right yet every time I heard his answer, I would not help but be angry.Angry that he never found a way to bring her to us.I would sneak occasionally to the dry land and sneak a peek at her yet every time I saw her, I left more heartbroken than the previous time.Her life among the lycans wasn't as bad. She was respected and valued here. Nobody treated her badly. At Least that would comfort me everytime.She had someone who adored her to the moon and back. Sometimes, I even envied her. Her life was fun, nothing like the mundane life I lived under water." Are you even listening to me? " I heard Kaiser's voice as
Looking at the scene unravelling before me made me sick to the stomach. Turns out that the reason that child looked like me was because he was my brother's son, a brother I never knew about." So now, do you still want to deny it? " Macbeth asked and I sucked in cold breath." There's nothing to deny but the fact still remains, I never knew that I had a brother somewhere. " I replied in all honesty." I can't believe this! " Leo murmured, looking all shaken." You really didn't know? " Macbeth pressed but I was getting fed up with her." How many times must I say that I never knew!? " I raised my voice as I spoke." If you really want your help then the first step you take is trust us. Why would I lie about something so serious? If I ever knew about having a brother, do you believe i'll want to be the lycan king? I have never loved being tied down to the throne. " I added and she nodded, looking away." I think Alex is telling the truth. He would not let someone take Jos mate away and
The lady turned to look at Leo with an hostile look painting her face. " You know nothing about my family so I suggest you stop making wild guesses." She warned. I shook my head at Leo , stopping him from arguing with her. At this point , we were supposed to stick together to face the enemy and not fight amongst ourselves. As for their differences, although I doubt there's any , they will solve them later. " Show me to my sister's room and bring something that belongs to your mate." The lady instructed and I nodded. " Leo , can you show her to valeria's room? " I requested but he growled at me, obviously dissatisfied. "'Why should I take her? " He asked. " Forget it . I'll head there myself. I'll just follow her scent. Macbeth replied before turning away and heading in the direction of valeria's room.I sighed and Leo frowned. He then glared at me. " What? " I asked, feigning innocence. " Why would you allow her to enter valeria's room? " He asked and this time, it's Kaiser
